LIKEME®’s mission is to support the LGBTQ+ community.

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and we rely largely on the generosity of the public to provide the funding necessary for us to provide support, education and resources to the LGBTQ+ community.

LIKEME® is currently focused on providing scholarships to LGBTQIA+ students. In the past 10 years, the Chely Wright Scholarship Committee has selected deserving recipients, made scholarship awards, and followed the progress of these students.
